Nov 2013

I have 3 girls and have read my share of princess stories. While I am reading them I keep thinking about how lame it is. And at the end I tell them there is a reason it ends at 'happily ever after'. I agree.... why do we need to have a man to be complete? to go out and have our life. It's nice having someone to share you life with, but that should not supercede your own goals. I used to have a book... can't remember the name, but it had alternative endings for the princess stories.. They would tell the princess stories with a twist.
